The 2018 Sci-Fi Thriller “The Darkest Minds” is coming to both 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on October 30th via Fox Home Entertainment, according to an early alert to retailers. The Jennifer Yuh Nelson directed film is based on the Alexandra Bracken novel, and its cast includes Skylan Brooks, Amandla Stenberg, Harris Dickinson, Miya Cech, Mandy Moore, Gwendoline Christie, and Bradley Whitford.

The release will come in the form of a “combo pack” with the 4K release getting a Blu-ray included, the Blu-ray release getting a DVD included, and both getting a Digital Copy of the film. The film is available for PRE-ORDER now over at Amazon on both 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc. Tech specs and bonus materials for the releases have not yet been detailed, as the studio hasn’t even officially announced this yet in form of press release. That being said, stay tuned for further details regarding this release.

UPDATE: The cover art has been updated on retailers (as pictured) now, and it appears the Blu-ray release will include a “friendship bracelet” exclusively. There is no word that indicates 4K consumers are worthy of this bracelet, sadly. Below you can see the Blu-ray art with a promotional sticker showing the included physical bonus item.
